In Gen. Gibs0n's speech at Farmerville on
the 9th instant, We End the following:

have fallen from the distinguished speakers
who accompany Gov, hlGEnery.s E1e says he
is confronted by faction calling themaelvsB
lefOTlpeFs VINO desire to elect somebody else
to he Governor besides hilasef. He, or the
speakers with him, say tlfRt because We
prefer somebody else for Governor We are
fGctiuniRtgr and are making war on the
lemoeratle paTty."
Our senior Senator has decided genius
for misstatlng the rsal position OF his apo
